Have you noticed that God’s mercies are NEW every morning? What a blessing it is to know that we don’t have to wait for a new year (or a new season or a new decade or a new millennium) to experience God’s renewal. Every day He offers us brand-new opportunities to trust Him, to rejoice […]

A lot of folks ask God to give them a specific Word of the Year to help them focus on a positive change for the upcoming year. Is this something you’ve found helpful? If so, would you like to share your Word of the Year for 2021 in comments below? Or, share how having a […]

Happy New Year! Are you one who makes New Year’s Resolutions? If you are, why not share your Top Three with us in comments? If you’re not, why not? Do you do something different instead? I’m not much for resolutions or words-of-the-year (if WOTY is your jam, we’ll talk about them next week, so save […]

Happy almost new year! I hope you were able to spend some time with family one way or another during Christmas! We’re now looking ahead to the new year and I think we’ll all be glad to have the calendar switch to 2021, even though we also know that’s not going to magically zap everything […]

Are you all set for Christmas? As of the time of this writing (which is obviously a little earlier than the posting date), I have wrapped exactly zero presents. Generally speaking, hubby and I manage to do this on Christmas Adam (which is, of course, the 23rd. Because Adam was before Eve.) At this point […]

Twas two Sundays ’til Christmas, and all through the home there were snow globes and creches where’ere your eye roamed. The dog tracked his mud prints all over the floor and Nerf bullets were strewn from the boys’ latest war. There were presents to wrap and letters to send and several to-do lists that all […]

I’m glad to be back with you for December! Advent and Christmas are such fantastic times of the year — especially when we really take the time to stop and remember the significance of this season. I know for me, 2020 being what it’s been, I’m definitely more focused than usual on finding things to […]

As November draws to a close and winter (for many of us) is on the horizon, indulge me in one last peek at summer! On August 30, my husband and I celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary. This probably should have counted as an excuse for a big party, but hey, two introverts plus covid, and […]

Moul Falls was probably everyone’s highlight of our week in Wells Gray Provinical Park back in August. Part of the trail is a relatively flat deactivated logging road which then becomes a forest trail to the top of the falls. You can’t see much from there, so we followed the steep trail (some of it […]

Helmcken Falls are one of the must-sees in British Columbia’s Wells Gray Provincial Park. The canyon carved by this waterfall through gorgeous rock layers is impressive, to say nothing of the huge bowl at the base, formed by thundering water and the rocks and logs it has carried downstream over the years. Winners this Week […]
